Hy! I have cheap olympic bar for 120 dollars two years ago, bought it because I was buying all of the equipment for gym at once so I didnt have that much money to spend on a bar.
I lift aroud 140 kg working sets for sq and 170 180 kg for dl.
1rm sq 165kg and for dl is 205kg (450lbs)
I noticed that the bar is bend, could it be that the weight is just too much for the bar?
I’m not doing rack pulls or anything that could bend the bar
You mean it’s bent? Then yeah you put a load on it it couldn’t handle. That’s okay though it’s still usable for the time being. Stick it in the rack and sight it against something straight turning it till you get the middle bend on the top and mark it. That way it wont roll when you use it.
Rogue has ohio power bars other decent bars in their discount section often so you can get on for 250~ if you’re patient.
Yea, bent! Sorry for bad English.
I did that, been using it for few months like this, and I think that is the time for new one and ohio power bar is choise no 1 for now
